Happy List
As you can probably tell, lately more than ever, I have been a “the glass is definately half EMPTY” sort of person. I have been really needing a mood boost. Even though I went to Hawaii this last weekend (which was AMAZING), the happiness just doesn’t last when I get back to my real life (especially having to do with work…). So, last night I was trying to come up with a happy list, positive things in my life that make me happy. Here’s what I got:
1) My balcony garden (I planted the seeds about a month ago and they are doing awesome)
2) …
Ok, so I really only got one…because whenever I think of something, I just think of a negative thing to go along. For example: I really love doing my little vintage etsy thing…but…it’s not taking off as quickly as I want OR I have tons of work to do on it that doesn’t get done. For every positive, I think of a negative. And it is going to drive me crazy. Sure, I have my health. And, at least I have a job. And food that is making me fat. And a roof over my head. And a boyfriend that (apparently) loves me. And my parents/siblings are all still alive and healthy. Etc. Etc.
For some reason, I find it really hard to find joy in the “small things”. A window in my very own office is supposed to make up for all the other crap I deal with? How can I help myself?? Lord help me.
